complete verse (Numbers 36:3)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Numbers 36:3:

  • Kupsabiny: “But if those daughters/girls are married by (a man from) another clan, that farm will come to belong to the people of that clan. This means that the farm will be removed from the people of our house and added to the clan that has married/taken her. So, it is clear that land will be taken from us.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “If they marry young men from other tribes, their inheritance will also go to the inheritance of the tribe into which they marry. In this way the inheritance of our tribe would be decreasing.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “But for-example they will-marry the other tribe, and because of this their land will- now -be-with the tribe of the one they marry. So, the land which is the portion/share of our (excl.) tribe, will- now -be-with to other/different (people).” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “But if his daughters marry men from the other Israeli tribes, that land will no longer belong to our tribe. People of other tribes will get it. So some of our land will no longer belong to us.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
